Abraham takes home his third Choice Hotels NEC Rookie of the Week award after sparking Robert Morris to a pair of home wins.  Abraham averaged 20.5 points, 2.5 assists and shot 88.9 percent from the charity stripe for the surging Colonials, who have won six-of-seven and are tied for first place atop the NEC standings with a 5-1 record.  He scored all of his team-high 20 points in the second half of an 80-73 victory over FDU on Thursday.  With the Colonials trailing by one with 6:21 to play, Abraham scored five points during a 15-4 run that gave the Colonials the lead and then hit 5-5 from the line in the final minute of action.  On Saturday, he converted 7-11 field goals and 5-6 free throws for a team-high 21 points in a 78-67 conquest of Monmouth.  He tallied nine of his team’s first 11 points to start the second half in a pivotal 19-5 run that gave the Colonials a commanding lead.  Abraham leads the Colonials and all NEC freshman in scoring at 12.9 ppg.  He is also the league leader in free throw percentage (.889) and ranks second in three-point accuracy (.457).  Additionally, Abraham has averaged 17.0 ppg in seven games as a starter with Robert Morris posting a 6-1 record in those contests.
